The Punisher

If I have to explain what I'm thinking about, we’re in good shape... doesn’t it make you think treating music like it’s just another gadget?.... doesn’t it make you think that the Real DEVO sold out for such a commercial operation, even producing the album?... doesn’t this ungrammatical, kindergarten-level language make you think, when judging the birth year, they should be in 2nd grade?... doesn’t this latent racism towards "ghei" make you reflect?... doesn’t this relationship with repressive and punitive parents regarding the use of swear words today, in 2006, make you ponder? Well, maybe all this is just me thinking too much and for you it's all normal... maybe the strange one at this point is just me!

Oh yes, then just tell him directly that I did it: ivan.p.99@gmail.com (don’t worry, he has already authorized me to share his email…)

This review was supposed to be signed together with Ivan, but the new authentication rule didn't allow me to do it (besides, Ivan had given me permission to publish his email, but “strangely” it has been hidden... MAAAH! How many mysteries... Editors, what do you say? Should I ask Ivan if he wants the email or do you decide for your own reasons?)

De André's album "Vol.3" was released as an attachment to Sorrisi in 2002. De André passed away in 1999, so...please, okay?

God, so you really are an idiot, and I thought you were a good-natured person BUT I HAVE TO CHANGE MY MIND… damn, things shouldn’t be evaluated in terms of COPIES SOLD or HOW MUCH SUCCESS someone has or doesn't have. It matters SOMEWHAT but it’s not THE FUNDAMENTAL THING, otherwise this discussion undermines a lot of beautiful things that were born and grew up in the shadows but are not inferior in quality to others. Someone like Nick Drake, for example, during his lifetime sold maybe 3000 copies in total but has influenced the imagination of many great singer-songwriters (from Nick Drake to Lou Reed etc.) and poets or people like The Smiths who, even though they didn’t sell LIKE MADONNA, have a lot more value to me and to many like me in terms of poetry and depth. Madonna, with all due respect (and I wouldn’t want to repeat the same things I’ve already said at least twenty times!), has stayed afloat, sold a ton, is attractive, sets trends, is rich, turns people on but I wonder: so what? and THEREFORE… that’s the gap that Madonna hasn’t been able to fill in me. Others have. But since you like to cling to the past and "how you thought in the 80s," stay cozy there while the world moves forward. The worst thing about a person is the fact that they DO NOT ACCEPT change, no matter where it comes from. And you're becoming one of those people.

If only it were just Adriano... did you hear what Cavalier Banana said last night? never mind... let's drop it...

What does "frocioni" have to do with it? Kiara, I suppose, refers to Chiara, so she is a woman, RIGHT?!

But Kiaravil, could it be that you’re LESBIAN? no, because the thought really pleases me and I could intercede for you with Avril for a potential triangle, You won’t believe it, but I met Avril two years ago at the English Grammys, backstage… just think, the blonde left me her phone number (her manager’s, not hers, okay?!) but in the meantime, if you want…

Then get back in, for heaven's sake!!

But... a review of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, really nothing? I’m not asking for a lot, but you could at least do one, right? If you don’t do it, who will, Lewis Tollani?! Come on... just one...
